Installing Subversion JavaHL library in Mac OS X

Question

I installed Subclipse in Eclipse using Eclipse Marketplace. I keep on getting a pop window with the message

Failed to load JavaHL Library.
These are the erro         


        

Answer 1

Using SVNKit is a valid option, but I still prefer JavaHL. The volunteer that was providing OSX binaries hosted by CollabNet stopped making them, so they do not have a Subversion 1.7 version available, only 1.6.

I updated the Subclipse JavaHL wiki page. The page directs people to use MacPorts or HomeBrew. Those are the best options for getting JavaHL. I use MacPorts.

You can also switch to the pure-Java implementation via "Window -> Preferences -> Team -> SVN -> SVN inteface" and choose the entry with "SVNKit". This way you remove any dependency on native code and get rid of these errors. Eclipse Preferences

If you are missing the SVNKit-choice, verify if you have installed the plugin "SVNKit Client Adapter" from CollabNet!
